The Summer I'll never forget-lrh

11

I wake up and look at the clock, which reads 12:57.

I sit up and see Luke is still sleeping. I lightly press a kiss to his cheek before climbing out of bed and jumping in the shower.

After washing myself up, I go downstairs to grab something to eat. As I enter the kitchen, I'm greeted by Kona and three other boys.

"Well good afternoon, princess." Michael chuckles.

"Um, hi?" I say and walk over to the fridge and grab the tub of grapes.

As I sit on a stool next to the island, Calum joins me.

"Whatcha doing?" He asks.

"Eating grapes." I say and pop one in my mouth.

"Woah, what is this?" He asks.

"W-what?" I stutter as my heart starts pounding against my chest.

He's found my hickey. Shit. I'm done for. Their going to find out.

"This purple mark on your neck. What is it?" He asks.

"I don't know." I say and shrug. Trying to play it cool as if I don't know what he's talking about.

An evil grin grows across his face.

"I think you know exactly what I'm talking about, you just won't admit it." He says.

"Admit what?" Ashton asks.

"This." Calum says and points to the spot on my neck.

"And where did this come from?" Ashton asks with a smirk.

"Guys, I don't know what it is. Just let it alone." I say.

Kona walks into the kitchen now and I know I'm not going to get away with it.

"Oh my god! Riley! What is that!" Kona screeches.

"I do not know what it is." I say calmly.

Michael has now joined us and is in with our conversation.

Luke still isn't up yet so I'm in the clear of them finding out. But I know that he'll wake soon and come downstairs. And once he does, everybody will know.

I'm doing a pretty good job with hiding it, but I know they aren't buying it.

"Riley, please tell me the truth. Do you know what the hell this is or not?" Kona asks.

"I already told you, I don't know." I say as all eyes are on me.

Just then, Luke enter the kitchen without a shirt on and only in his boxers.

Everyone turns to him and then back at me. But my eyes stay on his gorgeous body.

"Oh god. No no no. You didn't. Oh my god. I'm gonna throw up." Kona says and covers her mouth.

"You can't really prove anything." I say and fold my arms over my chest.

"Luke, come here." Michael says.

He slowly walks over to Michael, and when he does he's turned around and his scratched back is exposed.

"Case closed, Riley Martin and Luke Hemmings had sex sometime today." Michael says.

"Riley!" Kona whines.

"What?" I say. "I mean, it's not like any of you heard us. So what's the big deal?" I add.

"The fact that you had sex in our house, when we were here!" She shouts.

"You didn't even know until just now!" I argue back.

"That's still gross." She says and shakes her head.

"No it isn't." I say. "It was most definitely pleasurable." I mumble.

"Ewww!!" Kona yells and covers her ears.

"Yes, yes it was." Luke says to me and gives me a kiss.

"Just--you used protection right?" She asks.

"Yes, actually." I say.

"Well thank god you actually used your head for once." She says.

I playfully roll my eyes as Luke presses another kiss to my lips.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you, too." I respond.

I'm laying on one of our chairs as the guys goof around into the pool.

For a while they would do tricks as they'd jump in and Kona and I would rate them.

Even if Luke's weren't the best, I gave him the highest scoring. The other guys didn't really appreciate it, but I don't care.

"Riley, please come in now." Luke begs.

"I don't want to." I say and look at him through my sun glasses.

"But you said you would." He pouts.

"Maybe later." I reply.

"You said that already." He pouts again.

"Just give me a few more minutes." I say.

"Riley." He whines.

"Luke." I mock him.

He stops talking and I assume he's back with the other boys. But I wouldn't know because I closed my eyes.

Suddenly, I'm lifted up off the chair by cold and wet arms.

"Luke, no. Put me down." I say and wiggle in his arms.

"Ok." He says and drops me.

I let out a scream before submerging into the cold pool water.

I quickly make my back to the surface to find Luke laughing.

"I hate you." I say and climb out of the pool.

"Hey, that's mean." He says and sticks his bottom lip out.

"Well so is dropping your girlfriend in a freezing pool." I say and wrap myself in a large towel.

"But I thought you loved me." He says and walks over to me.

"Key word loved, meaning no more." I say.

"That hurts." He says and slaps his hand over his heart.

"Good." I say and resist the urge to smile.

"Can you love me again?" He asks, now right in front of me.

"Are you worthy of my love?" I ask as I look up at him.

"I think so." He say as he lowers himself.

He presses his lips to mine. Which I gladly accept. As we kiss, a chorus of 'ewws' and 'that's gross' come from the four other people here.

"I love you." He says.

"I love you too." I reply with a smile.
